Mae Day!

Ava Mae (pronounced like May) Lynch wasn't actually born on May Day, so the title is a bit of a stretch, but hey, it's my blog. Ava was born on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 6:13am. She weighed in just shy of nine pounds (8lbs 15.5oz) and is 21.25 inches in length. If you cannot tell from the pictures, she has dark hair and blue eyes. Enjoy the pictures...

Becky in her hospital gown, very pregnant. As you might  have inferred
from the smile on her face, this is after the epidural kicked in :o)

This is our first picture of Ava. She came out much more purple and much
more angry than her sister Autumn, but we decided to keep her anyway

Mamma beaming after a job well done!

Proud daddy holding the fruit of his loins 

My three girls!

Trying to figure this thing out... Looking to daddy for answers

Autumn giving Ava a kiss!

Grandpa Skinner's favorite pastime: holding grand-babies

Mamma still glowing, Ava watching

Apparently they saw us fit to be parents and allowed us to
take her home

Cousin Brock holding Ava and studying her intently

A quick shout out to everybody who helped out, and continue to help out, with Autumn through this process; most notably Grandma Skinner, Grandpa Skinner, April, Lou, and Ty. We dearly appreciate your willingness to help. Also, a big thank you to my brother-in-law Ryan Skinner: we came home from the hospital to find out that our computer had a crippling virus. Ryan worked on it late at night and got it up and running, allowing us to download these pictures for your viewing pleasure. Thank you again Ryan!
